Dec05【每日活水】使/命为先,甘心奉献

以斯拉记2:55~70

55  所罗门仆人的后裔,就是琐太的子孙、琐斐列的子孙、比路大的子孙、
56 雅拉的子孙、达昆的子孙、吉德的子孙、
57 示法提雅的子孙、哈替的子孙、玻黑列哈斯巴音的子孙、亚米的子孙。
58 尼提宁和所罗门仆人的后裔共三百九十二名。
59 从特米拉、特哈萨、基绿、押但、音麦上来的,不能指明他们的宗族谱系是以/色列人不是;
60 他们是第来雅的子孙、多比雅的子孙、尼哥大的子孙,共六百五十二名。
61 祭/司中,哈巴雅的子孙、哈哥斯的子孙、巴西莱的子孙;因为他们的先祖娶了基列人巴西莱的女儿为妻,所以起名叫巴西莱。
62 这三家的人在族谱之中寻查自己的谱系,却寻不着,因此算为不洁,不准供Ji/司的职任。
63 省长对他们说:「不可吃至圣的物,直到有用乌陵和土明决疑的Ji/司兴起来。」
64 会众共有四万二千三百六十名。
65 此外,还有他们的仆婢七千三百三十七名,又有歌唱的男女二百名。
66 他们有马七百三十六匹,骡子二百四十五匹,
67 骆驼四百三十五只,驴六千七百二十匹。
68 有些族长到了耶路撒冷耶/和/华殿的地方,便为  SHEN 的殿甘心献上礼物,要重新建造。
69他们量力捐入工程库的金子六万一千达利克,银子五千弥拿,并Ji司的礼服一百件。
70 于是Ji司、利未人、民中的一些人、歌唱的、守门的、尼提宁,并以/色列众人,各住在自己的城里。
55 The descendants of the servants of Solomon: the descendants of Sotai, Hassophereth, Peruda,
56 Jaala, Darkon, Giddel,
57 Shephatiah, Hattil, Pokereth-Hazzebaim and Ami
58 The temple servants and the descendants of the servants of Solomon 392
59 The following came up from the towns of Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Kerub, Addon and Immer, but they could not show that their families were descended from Israel:
60 The descendants of Delaiah, Tobiah and Nekoda 652
61 And from among the priests: The descendants of Hobaiah, Hakkoz and Barzillai (a man who had married a daughter of Barzillai the Gileadite and was called by that name).
62 These searched for their family records, but they could not find them and so were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.
63 The governor ordered them not to eat any of the most sacred food until there was a priest ministering with the Urim and Thummim.
64 The whole company numbered 42,360,
65 besides their 7,337 male and female slaves; and they also had 200 male and female singers.
66 They had 736 horses, 245 mules,
67 435 camels and 6,720 donkeys.
68 When they arrived at the house of the Lord in Jerusalem, some of the heads of the families gave freewill offerings toward the rebuilding of the house of God on its site.
69 According to their ability they gave to the treasury for this work 61,000 darics of gold, 5,000 minas of silver and 100 priestly garments.
70 The priests, the Levites, the musicians, the gatekeepers and the temple servants settled in their own towns, along with some of the other people, and the rest of the Israelites settled in their towns.
 

内容观察

1.归回的以/色列百姓共有多少名?(64节)

2.族长在哪里献礼物?(68节)

 

思考与默想

 

3.族长为什么在定居之前就先献上礼物?(参代上29:4~5)
 

个人感受

4.看到以/色列人归回之后,首先为了圣/殿的重建奉献,我有什么感想?
 

决心与应用

5.最近我是否没向 SHEN 献上时间或财物?

6.为了甘心将我的生活献上给 SHEN ,我决定要怎么做?

不能证明他们的父系家族(59节):被掳归回的人中,有人无法证明自己的祖先是不是犹太人。乌陵和土明(63节):放置于大祭/司胸牌内的两块宝石,用以询问 SHEN 的旨意。
达利克、弥那(69节):达利克为波斯帝国的金币,弥那为银币。
代上29:4~5“就是三千他连得俄斐金子、七千他连得纯银,用来贴殿的墙;金子做金器,银子做银器,并借工匠的手做一切的工。今日有谁愿意将自己献给耶/和/华呢?”

灵/修指南

被掳归回者的名单中,有些记录引人注目。首先是族长为了圣/殿的根基献上礼物(68节),其规模是六万一千达利克金子、五千弥那银子,以及一百件Ji/司的礼服(69节),照如今的标准大约是金子513公斤,银子2850公斤。虽然无法跟所罗门建造圣/殿时所用的102,000公斤纯金和238,000公斤纯银相比(参代上29:4~5),但他们是甘愿放弃在巴比伦稳定的生活,为了恢复圣/殿而长途跋涉回到耶路撒冷的人们,不仅如此,他们甚至是在找到自己的居住地之前,先将重建圣/殿的奉献分别出来献上(70节)。他们在过去长久的俘虏生活中,以及长达四个月的返乡旅行中,都没有忘记自己的使/命。他们心甘情愿为了圣/殿的重建献上礼物,因为他们希望恢复自己作为Ji/司国度的身份和使/命。盼望今天我们也借着经/文思想自己的身份和使/命。
 

内室dao告

愿我以君/尊Ji/司的使/命为优先,甘心献上自己的一切给 SHEN 。
